The Albany Medical College Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is a 12-month training program that offers extensive educational opportunities in a busy Surgical ICU at Albany Medical Center (AMC). AMC is the only tertiary medical center and Level I trauma center in northeastern New York where it serves a catchment population of 3 million people. In 2018 our trauma center had over 3732 trauma admissions.
The Surgical Critical Care Service accepts over 1700 admissions per year with an average daily census of twenty-seven (27) patients per day. The distribution offers a wide-variety of cases including patients with trauma, elective and emergent vascular surgery, neurosurgical diseases and stroke, surgical oncology, and complex general surgical conditions (e.g.-severe pancreatitis, necrotizing fasciitis, etc.). Rotations in the Pediatric ICU and Neuro ICU as well as electives in related disciplines are available at the Albany Medical Center.
